Thanks for the report!
This is probably due to unguarded escape sequences in the prompt. https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/10553#issuecomment-873450551 and https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/10760#issuecomment-886786434 will give you more information.

Yes, this stack exchange post described my issue and the solution, it was referenced in #10553.
Sorry about the unrelated issue then, I swear I tried looking for a stack overflow/exchange post about this but couldn't find any... Anyway, thanks!

That's totally fine! I'm going to take a TODO to add a FAQ entry about this, actually, because it does come up fairly often 😄
